Obviously there's things you cannot produce for yourself and thus have to trade with others, but failing to provide some of your own internal manufacturing on some items - pharmaceuticals, for example, or weaponry - is downright dangerous to national security. 

We have an experienced corporate attorney in the environmental and pharmaceutical industries on our founders team but are currently lacking a fund specific RE attorney & CFO (but have we have a connection with an experienced hedge fund manager who has expressed interest in joining our team and we are currently interviewing interim candidates on toptal).

So I am a recent grad working in the pharmaceutical industry.

Just outside of Los Angeles is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the country. 

As you probably know it is a major hub for hospitals, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, etc.
